Washington announced the signings of three college free agents, getting center Casey Dunn, linebacker Vontae Diggs and receiver Darvin Kidsy under contract. The team waived receiver Mikah Holder and center Sean Welsh in corresponding moves.

Washington designated Welsh as leaving the team. He announced last week he was retiring from football.

Diggs made 183 tackles and 11.5 tackles for loss in his 36-game career at Connecticut.

Dunn graduated from Jacksonville State and transferred to Auburn, where he made nine starts at center last season.

Kidsy played 47 games in his college career at North Texas and Texas Southern. He had 512 receiving yards and three touchdowns last season at Texas Southern and added a long punt return of 61 yards. Kidsy also received a tryout at the Browns’ rookie minicamp.

While they’re bigger contenders than the Lions, the Green Bay Packers look as though they’ve become frustrated from winning just a handful of playoff games in the seven seasons that have elapsed since they captured Super Bowl XLV.

Scott played four seasons at Kansas State, seeing action in 31 career games. He served as the team’s primary long snapper in each of the final 26 games of his collegiate career and made four special teams tackles.

Most everything. Hitting into a double play was no fun, but going 1 for 2 with a double and two walks as the Yankees’ designated hitter in an 8-3 Yankees win over the Kansas City Royals made for a long-time-coming, satisfying work day.

And watching the Yankees show off their power with a five-homer game was the cherry on top.

As a result, a team that is usually prudent and conservative has committed some bold moves this offseason. New general manager, new coordinators on both sides of the ball, and even a new mentality on the open market.

Falcons running back Devonta Freeman may not be 100 percent healthy now, but he feels good about the progress he’s made this offseason.

Freeman injured the posterior cruciate ligament and medial collateral ligament in his right knee in the regular season finale, and played through it in postseason games against the Rams and Eagles.

Freeman scored a massive contract last summer but had a down season by his standards, finishing with 865 rushing yards and 317 receiving yards and eight combined touchdowns. He missed two games with a concussion.

Pederson is writing the book with NFL writer Dan Pompei. “Fearless” is due out on August 28.

Pederson told the Associated Press in a statement that he always considered himself an “underdog.” The Eagles certainly grabbed onto that mantra last season, sporting “underdog” masks for playoff games after the team was mostly written off following the loss of Carson Wentz to an ACL injury in December.

More details are emerging regarding the abrupt resignation of Bills and Sabres president Russ Brandon. And the details help explain why Brandon is suddenly out after 20 years in Buffalo.

Tim Graham of the Buffalo News reports that Bills and Sabres co-owner Kim Pegula informed Brandon on Friday that an internal investigation was being conducted regarding allegations of inappropriate relationships with female employees. Per Graham, Brandon denied any such relationships when confronted by Kim Pegula. The internal investigation showed, according to Graham, that Brandon “was deceitful about that and other job-related issues that were uncovered.”

The Patriots have three 2015 first-round picks on their roster heading into the 2018 season and they’ve chosen not to exercise their option on any of their contracts for the 2019 season.

Add that all up, and she paid roughly $2,240 each year to maintain her look.

While listing all the associated expenses, Davis confesses,You’re probably looking at it and I made no money.

In Miami, Ware says that coaches told them they were the highest paid cheerleaders in the NFL.

She’s not comfortable disclosing her hourly wage, but she says it still wasn’t enough to live on.

She worked three other jobs, as a fitness instructor, resort activities manager and at a massage therapy studio.

The Cardinals also cut cornerback C.J. Goodwin, who joined the team late last season and appeared in two games. Goodwin transitioned from wide receiver to cornerback with the Falcons and played 12 games with them in 2017 before being released.

Cornerback Jarell Carter, running back Darius Victor and long snapper Drew Williams were also let go on Tuesday. The Cardinals have four more cuts to make in order to have room for all their incoming rookies.

New Orleans Saints players are beginning to deal with the realization they won’t have the team’s leading rusher, Mark Ingram, for the first four games of the 2018 season.

Linebacker Shaquem Griffin was a feel-good story in the NFL draft, but there’s more to it than his inspiring story.

Griffin is also a very good player, and it would be no surprise if he’s a steal for the Seattle Seahawks as a fifth-round pick.
